14.12.2007Symantec says Chinese offer a success, withholds numbers
Symantec Corp. declared its
compensation offer for Chinese
users who saw their computers
damaged by a bad software
update a success Sunday, but
declined to say how many users
had accepted the deal.
Symantec ran into trouble
May 18, when the company
issued a faulty software
update for its Norton
antivirus software that
wrongly identified two system
files in the Simplified
Chinese edition of Windows XP
as malware, and quarantined
them. That blunder rendered an
estimated 50,000 Chinese PCs
unusable, Symantec said.
The incident provoked an
angry outcry from Chinese
users, who demanded
compensation for the damage
wrought on their systems by
Symantec. At least two users
filed lawsuits against
Symantec over damage done to
their PCs. ..

A Chinese couple tried to name

trying to whip the national
language into line said
Thursday.
The unusual name stands
out especially in Chinese,
which has no alphabet and
instead uses tens of thousands
of multi-stroke characters to
represent words.
"The whole world
uses it to write e-mail, and
translated into Chinese it
means 'love him'," the
father explained, according to
the deputy chief of the State
Language Commission Li
Yuming.
While "@" is familiar to
Chinese e-mail users, they
often use the English word
"at" to sound it out --
which with a drawn out "T"
sounds something like "ai
ta," or "love him," to
Mandarin speakers...

a very strong position to influence how shares would be transferred to any new owner, said the source, who is close to Alibaba.
The problem
is a perception by Beijing authorities that an important Chinese firm could come under the control of Microsoft Corp, which has a reputation of using
monopolistic tactics, said the source, who is familiar with a team of bankers and lawyers assembled by Alibaba to review its options.
